Hiking

Halfway along the Dents-du-Midi tour. Easy but quite long route. Very beautiful view of Lake Geneva at the start of the route then over the Illiez valley to Champéry. Some parts are a bit boring, you can't see the end! Possibility of stopping before the descent from the Antème hut and its very beautiful lakes. Very mineral place at the foot of the Dent-du-Midi where you can notice the very beautiful white layer, a sedimentary rock from the Cretaceous period (between 145 and 66 million years ago)
